@ChiukwuBiafra@ChinasaNworu It doesn't mean anything. Ojukwu led Biafra war doesn't mean he own Biafra. He's just a Biafran like you just that it happened to be the larder
Let nobody deceive himself. Nigeria alone would not have stood a chance against Biafra without the backing of Britain, America, Egypt, France, and the Soviet Union.
They brought their weapons, their money, and their influence against a people whose only crime was wanting to live in freedom and dignity.
Yet our people fought with uncommon courage. Our fathers fought, our mothers fought, and even our children became warriors out of necessity. Alaigbo refused to bow.
That is why we reject every attempt to water down or rewrite what happened. It was not a "civil war" as they want the world to believe, it was a calculated campaign that cost millions of innocent Biafran lives.
Is this the history the BBC wants us to forget? Is this the story they want rewritten through the mouth of a man who neither witnessed the war nor lived our pain?
Tufiakwa!
We will tell our own story. We will defend our own history. And we will never allow anyone to erase the sacrifices of our people.

Bruce Mayrock, a 20-year-old Columbia University student, took his own life by setting himself on fire in front of the United Nations Building on 29th May 1969, to protest the genocide of Biafrans, people he had never met.
